Morales alleged Adame violated the Texas Local Government Code for his involvement in votes related to Memorial Coliseum. Adame owns land nearby and Morales claimed Adame didn't properly disclose that interest. Adame recused himself from negotiations related to specific coliseum developers but was involved in votes about the general future of the city-owned building. He disclosed the property in his financial report to the city. He participated in the votes after receiving a favorable opinion from an attorney.
